Do remember this twrp recovery will only work on Android 6.0 :cyclops:
Twrp takes takes about 1-2 minutes to boot up as it has to time out the screen once to turn on the display(bug in twrp) in that time don't press anything or tap on the screen or the timeout will reset, after waiting for 1 minute(screen time out time) press power key and it should show the twrp recovery :highfive:
and yeah after flashing twrp, please flash SuperSu or Magisk or you'll face bootloop :silly:
I complete all step, but my Android Phone is vibrate every 1 mint,So How to Solve this Problem?

Part 1 - HOW-TO FLASH TWRP:
1. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
2. Go to Settings -> Developer options and enable OEM Unlock option.
3. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.
- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.

4. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.
5. Download a .tar image of TWRP.
6. Reboot your device to download mode.
- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.
- Read the warning carefully.
- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.
7. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.
8. Connect your phone.
9. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
10. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.
Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)
1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
2. Select "Keep /system RO". (Don't swipe right or you may not be able to boot into system if you failed to complete next steps. However, you can swipe right to allow modifications if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.
5. Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.
6. Transfer the zip to your phone.
- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.) (for the moment not working)
- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/". (for the moment not working)
- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.
7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage. Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs via TWRP.
Part 3 - HOW-TO ROOT:
1. Download the flashable zip.
- Option 1: Magisk
- Option 2: SuperSU (untested)
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
Part 3a - HOW-TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS:
1. Download the flashable zip.
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
Simple.

Good work keep it up
This is great. Many thanks
Great job and many thanks for your efforts!
Do I get this right?
When I'm in download mode, I have to hold the 3 buttons again and press start in odin ?
Doesn't that interrupt the flash process ?

There's no guarantee a software update will ever unlock your bootloader if the OEM Unlock option is not available for you. I would suggest selling it and buying a new one that does have the option. If you really want to root or install custom ROMs, why take the risk when you spent $1000 on this phone for a specific purpose?
If you just bought your phone, it must still be brand new and in pristine condition. You should sell it for almost full price. The demand is really high right now so you'll have no problems selling it fast.

can be your carrier blocked the oem unlock. download a debranded firmware like the one with AUT or DBT csc and flash it with odin and look if you have then the menu. But flash it only when you have a N950F or a N950F/DS
Has anyone tested Android Pay after doing this?

Thank you very much for your fine work.
I went to the download site, and the file TWRP-3.2.1.0-greatlte.tar does not seem to work with the latest Odin for some reason.
So I used the recovery.img via the older TWRP on the phone and all good.
Tnx team...got the .img and flashed...reboot in recovery...and working like a charm...realy appreciate the works ??

You can Either use Odin (I re-uploaded a new Tarball) or just flash the image via an earlier version of TWRP..so far this has no bugs, I tried ADB sideload, backup and restore and had no issues..

Please find enclosed the log file which was created. Hope it helps

fastboot flash recovery [PATH TO THE IMAGE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED]
to flash(or grab that file into the cmd window, it will automaticly fill the full path of that file)
then use
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
to boot the recovery(or just manually press volume up key and power key to reboot to recovery)
because this recovery is not support encrypted data partition, you can download flashable zip at computer and use
Code:
adb push THE/ZIP/FILE/YOU/DOWNLOAD /tmp/
(/tmp is a RAM-disk, means that the size of this partition is your free ram), you can push the flashable zip into your phone and flash it in recovery(or use otg storage devices, but the original author not mention it and Im not testing it)
IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED,but you wanna try it
You can use
Code:
fastboot boot [PATH TO THE IMAGE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED]
to only boot the recovery(not flash recovery)
(not sure 100% success)

Did you change TARGET_OTA_ASSERT_DEVICE or whatever from xiaomimi9 to cepheus? If not, it's still broken in some way.

Maybe not , I cant upgrade by manually download full size rom and click reboot to install at the stock updater, but you can download at computer and use
Code:
adb push THE/ZIP/FILE/YOU/DOWNLOAD /tmp/
(/tmp is a RAM-disk, means that the size of this partition is your free ram), you can push full size package into it and flash it in recovery
ps: the recovery doesnt support data decrypt, and I cant use sideload to flash these zips(TAT)

Is this twrp support format data to remove encryption?

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G2 D802 stock to Android 11
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] LG G2 LG-D802 (Unlocked/International) stock to Android 11 R/LineageOS 18.1 with all files included
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your LG G2 D802 to a powerful one with Android 11.
I wrote this because everything I read was incomplete or outdated.
Make sure your phone is a compatible LG G2. In Android, go to Settings > General > About phone > Hardware information > Model number is LG-D802.
If not, quit this tutorial.
### I'll make a few comments like this, PLEASE READ THEM !
### DO NOT CHECK FOR ANDROID UPDATES (we'll see this later).
### Netflix and Disney+ won't work.
CHANGELOG
v1. Initial release for Android 11
1) DOWNLOAD
- djibe LG G2 d802 pack: https://bit.ly/djibe-lgg2-d802-pack
(contains LG USB drivers + LG UP firmware flash tool + LGG2-D802-OneClickRootRecoveryV1.1 by somboons + TWRP 3.3.1-0 by blastagator + Magisk root).
Unzip files.
+ ROM LineageOS 18.1 Official: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-lineageos-18-1-official-d80x-unofficial-ls980-vs980.4186013/
Download latest build here: https://download.lineageos.org/d802
+ BiTGapps Package ARM 11: https://github.com/BiTGApps/BiTGApps-Release/releases
or MindTheGApps ARM 11: http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
+ Charge phone to 100%
No command line will be used ! No need to be a geek.
2) INSTALL USB DRIVERS
Install LG USB drivers (you unzipped earlier).
Then plug phone to PC in File transfer mode (Media device MTP option).
Collect all .jpg or .mp4
Use an app like Backupyourmobile to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Make sure Google account is synced, WhatsApp backups etc...
Check that backup is located on microSD card.
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Go to Settings > General > About phone > Status > IMEI.
Note EMEI (15 digits, just in case) !
3) UPGRADE TO ANDROID 5 LOLLIPOP
Check OS version: go to Settings > General > About phone > Software information
- If Android is 4.4.2: follow this chapter
- If Android is already 5: move to next chapter
Note down Software version. Mine is D80220g-208-01
Download firmware from: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-d802-firmwares/
Download firmware for Android 5.0.x Lollipop having the generic Region (and no brand) for your country.
UK or English spoken (use this by default): https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/1176/D80230d_00
France: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/680/D80230d_00
Germany: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/572/D80230d_00
Italy: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/1289/D80230d_00
During download, go to folder LGUP_LG/ and install LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3.msi.
Then install LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5_CODEFIRE.msi
Back to the phone: power it off.
Enter Download Mode: hold Volume+ and plug USB into your PC,
### Or try with Volume+ + Power. Hold both 3 seconds, connect to USB and release.
release buttons when Download mode screen is displayed on phone.
### If Download mode is missing, you'll have to use AutoRec (thx @lgkar): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/autorec-kitkat-recovery-installer.2715496/
### Warning all data will be erased from phone, make sure to backup everything.
Launch LGUP from Windows Start menu.
It will detect D802.
Click on UPGRADE and in File Path select the firmware with *.kdz extension you downloaded.
Click on Start.
Don't touch anything. Lock the kids in the basement during flash.
Phone will restart automatically to ... Android 5 !
Disconnect phone from USB and close LGUP.
3) ROOT LG G2 AND FLASH TWRP 2.8 RECOVERY
We need root to flash a custom recovery.
No bootloader unlock is needed on LG G2.
Enable USB debugging: go to Settings > General > About phone > Software info.
Tap 7 times on Build number to unlock Developer options.
Back to Settings > General > Developer options.
Check ON USB debugging option.
Connect phone to USB again.
I prefer to disable antivirus for root (we never know about false positives).
Go to folder LGG2-D802-OneClickRootRecoveryV1.1/
and double click on OneClick_ROOT_RECOVERY.bat (by awesome @somboons).
When Windows command is displaying:
Code:
Waiting for device...
Allow USB debugging from the phone and check Always allow from this computer.
Root will continue.
When command prompts: Please press Ctrl+C ...
From keyboard, press Ctrl + C combo.
Then: N
### If you exit command or fail at this step, like me, just power phone off (long press Power).
When phone restarts, you will see that SuperSU app is installed. Phone is rooted.
7) UPDATE TWRP RECOVERY TO 3.3
Reboot to recovery: power off phone.
Then hold Power + Volume down until LG logo shows up, release buttons and then press again until recovery shows up.
### Like me you fail booting to Recovery ? Let phone start.
### Go back to LGG2-D802-OneClickRootRecoveryV1.1/ folder.
### In the Windows address bar, enter: cmd and press Enter.
### It will launch a command prompt in the active directory.
### Then enter:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
### Phone will restart to recovery.
Welcome to TWRP 2.8.
Normaly you can see LG-D802 device from Windows explorer (besides your hard drives).
### If not, go to Mount, check Data and tap on Enable MTP.
Copy twrp-3.3.1-0-d802-bump-blastagator-signed.zip to root folder of phone (called Internal Storage).
From TWRP recovery, go to Install > twrp-3.3.1-0-d802-bump*.zip and Swipe to Flash.
Go back to Home menu > Reboot > Recovery.
Recovery restarts to brand new 3.3 version.
Check Never show this screen during boot again and Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Settings > General (first tab).
Make sure 3rd option "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" is UNCHECKED.
9) WIPE PARTITIONS
Disconnect phone from PC.
Now go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe.
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache and Swipe to Wipe.
Go to Wipe > Format Data.
Type: yes and confirm with bottom right icon.
Tap on Home button > Reboot > Recovery > Swipe to Reboot.
### Always uncheck "Install TWRP app" options.
10) FLASH ANDROID, GAPPS AND MAGISK ROOT
On restart, check Never show this screen during boot again and Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Connect phone to PC.
Copy ROM + BITGAPPS + Magisk on Internal Storage folder.
Disconnect phone.
Go to Install > select lineage-18.1*.zip, and Add More Zips,
then bitgapps*.zip and Swipe to confirm Flash
Be patient.
### If it fails, install zips 1 by 1.
Then back to Home > Reboot > Recovery.
### Always uncheck "Install TWRP app" options.
OPTIONAL: go back to TWRP Install > Magisk*.zip
When done message prompts, tap on Wipe Cache/Dalvik and Swipe to Wipe, wait.
Disconnect phone from PC.
Then tap on Reboot System.
Let the phone boot (about 5 minutes).
11) ANDROID 11
Configure Android as you like.
### Over The Air (OTA) updates: download file > reboot to recovery > flash ROM and GApps > Wipe cache > Reboot
Reflash BitGApps after each update. Not needed with BitGApps. Thx to @Pierfai

Hi, glad you liked it !
Hi djibe,
thank you for this great guide. I followed it with a little extra work: I had to run AutoRec once to re-enable the download mode on the LG G2 d802 which was on stock 4.4.2 (also LGUP was not detecting my device: used Uppercut to got it recognized correctly). Second issue might be due to my own stupid way of trying all kind of tools to get the download mode working (again Autorec helped me --> Just in case someone else has similar issues).
Only real problem I had with your guide was at point 11 after installing LineageOS: The device got stuck in a bootloop to TWRP. I guess I solved it following this note:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...thermal-f2fs-2019-12-23.2898705/post-55892416
WARNING 2: DO NOT ENCRYPT F2FS - ROM and RECOVERY will BOTH bootloop and you'll be doing back to stock method!!!
If you want to use F2FS:
1) Make sure your kernel and ramdisk support f2fs (the dev of your ROM/kernel should have f2fs support noted). Dorimanx stock kernel as well as many AOSP kernels have full f2fs support.
2) Install and boot into my recovery.
3) Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe, select /data, then click Change Partition Type. Select f2fs, and it will convert. Repeat this process for /cache.
4) Reboot the recovery, NOT reboot to system. DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL YOU REBOOT RECOVERY!!!
5) Reboot OS. That's it! You're ready to go.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually I didn't want to encypt anything (not sure where I should have done this???) or have a clue what are the pros/cons of using F2FS but I converted the mentioned partitions and installed LineageOS agian: Working without boot loop!
What I recognized during the installation in TWRP: I got a red error message "E:Unable to decrypt FBE device" do I need to worry about this (basically I just want a fresher Android and the usual Gapps on the device than 4.4, nothing fancy)? Or did I miss an important point in you guide?
Thank you!
Edit: I guess I forgot to reboot between installing Lineage, Bitgapps and Magisk! --> no need to format the /data and /cache partition
I found that at step 10
"Install > Magisk*.zip
When done message prompts, tap on Wipe Cache/Dalvik and Swipe to Wipe, wait.
Disconnect phone from PC.
Then tap on Reboot System."
When we choose Reboot System, we have to uncheck those two boxes and click DO NOT INSTALL. Otherwise it will do a TWRP bootloop.
After I figure this out, I can successfully install Android 11 on my G2.
Thank you for your guide~

It looks like computer is searching an USB device.
Go to Windows Device Manager to check if drivers are correctly installed.
